He Ao raised his head and stared at the deepest part of the corridor.
Vaguely, he felt some kind of silent danger in the deep silence of the church.
And the attraction is so alluring, like poppies blooming in the dark night.
He thought for a moment, turned off the faucet, and stepped lightly.
His steps were very light, so light that there was no sound.
Tick tock···Tick tock···
The remaining water dripping from the faucet fell into the bathroom basin, making a soft sound.
Deep in the corridor are two rooms, both of which have their doors ajar.
The attraction came from the room on the left, and he slowly opened the door.
The layout here is very simple, with a few seats and an altar with a cross.
This seems to be a small chapel where only a few people can worship.
There is also a small chapel inside the large chapel.
There are nesting dolls inside the nesting dolls.
He Ao raised his head, looked across the seats, and looked at the cross on the altar.
That attraction comes from behind and below the cross.
But behind the cross is the wall.
He Ao walked around the altar and walked to the wall.
The cold moonlight shines on the ancient cross through the dusty glass.
There should be no hidden space behind the wall, just a single wall.
He Ao took two steps back, activated his super memory, and stared at the cross.
There is nothing special about the cross itself, it does not show extraordinary characteristics, and the attraction that attracts Ho O does not come from the cross.
However, He Ao noticed something else.
He closed his super memory, stepped onto the altar, and walked in front of the cross.
The cross is about three meters high, and the beam is nearly two meters high. Nell, who is over 1.8 meters tall, can reach out and touch the upper surface of the beam.
He Ao reached out and touched it, then withdrew his hand.
The upper surface of the beam is very clean and there is no dust accumulation.
There is dust on the glass in this small chapel, and the floor is not very clean. It has obviously not been cleaned for a long time, but there is no obvious dust on the surface of the cross beam.
He Ao stared at the vertical pole of the cross. There seemed to be a thin metal sheet attached to the back.
He Ao thought for a moment, then held the vertical pole of the cross with one hand and the horizontal pole with the other, and suddenly lifted the cross up.
This cross is not light, weighing almost three to four hundred pounds. It is not easy for ordinary people to lift.
Click——
With a crisp sound, the cross seemed to be stuck on some mechanism, and He Ao let go of his hand.
At this moment, the cross has been suspended and fixed on the metal piece behind it.
He Ao grabbed the cross beam and pulled it down hard. The cross turned 180 degrees counterclockwise and turned into an inverted shape.
Click——
The cross was stuck again, and the altar under He Ao's feet shook.
Ho Ao jumped off the altar.
There is no dust on the upper surface of the cross beam, which means that the cross is often turned over and the upper surface becomes the lower surface, so naturally there is no dust.
However, putting the cross upside down is considered by some to give up salvation and blasphemous to God. In Rock City, a city with a strong religious atmosphere, even if someone guessed that the cross was placed upside down, they would not dare to actually turn the cross upside down.
He'ao is different, He'ao doesn't believe in religion.
Nell is also not religious.
When a person encounters a major setback, he either completely falls into the arms of God or completely abandons God.
Nell falls into the latter category.
However, this place of worshiping gods uses some kind of blasphemous emblem as a method to open the mechanism...
The Miners' Mutual Aid Association doesn't seem to be as simple as Heao imagined.
The altar under the cross slowly moved away, revealing an inverted triangular hole, and a deep staircase extending from the hole to the depths of the ground.
When He Ao was looking at the stairs, two 'factory'-shaped metal rods extended from the walls on both sides of the stairs, like two handrails.
However, the handrail was a little short. He Ao stepped forward and looked at the metal pole. The metal pole was concave in the middle, seeming to form some kind of track. This track extended from the metal pole to the walls on both sides of the ladder, and finally extended to the ladder.
deepest.
He Ao waited for a moment, but nothing happened at the entrance of the cave.
He thought for a moment and stepped onto the stairs.
There is no light at the entrance of the stairs, and the deepest part is pitch black. However, He Ao's eyesight can barely see the outermost part of the stairs clearly with the help of moonlight.
He continued inside.
The moment his body was completely submerged into the dark staircase, a slight vibration was heard, and the altar that had been moved away was slowly moving back, blocking all the light.
At the moment when the entire stairway fell into darkness, a light suddenly lit up above He Ao's head.
Then the lights came on one after another, extending to the end of the stairs.
There, there is a bright red door.
This deep staircase is like a passage leading to hell, and behind the bright red door is hell.
He Ao looked back at the passage he came in. At the bottom of the altar, a dark red emblem was vaguely revealed.
It was an inverted triangle pattern with an open eye embedded in the middle.
He Ao didn't recognize this pattern, but based on his long-term experience with friends, this pattern should point to an evil god.
He turned back and continued walking down the stairs, and soon arrived at the bright red door.
When He Ao touched the door, he vaguely heard a sharp whistling in his ears, which seemed to be the lament of the deceased.
This lamentation lingers in He'ao's ears, describing their fear of death and desire for life.
But they were just talking and didn't dare to attack at close range.
He Ao activated his super memory, and in an instant, he noticed the resentful spirits wrapped around the door.
He turned his attention to those resentful spirits.
The grieving spirit in the middle stopped for a moment, and then it looked at He Ao, as if wondering whether He Ao was looking at it.
It moved its body, and He Ao's eyes followed it.
After making sure that He Ao was looking at it, it retracted into the door with a swipe.
The buzzing noise in He Ao's ears disappeared.
He smiled and shook his head, then naturally opened the bright red door.
What caught his eye was not some dark cave, but an underground space with smooth floors and bright lights.
There is a slight stale, musty smell in the air, but it's not heavy.
The space is not large, with rows of bookshelves arranged in sequence.
This seems to be an underground library.
He Ao walked to the first bookshelf. On the side of the bookshelf, there was the number of the bookshelf, ‘z’.
He Ao's eyes paused for a moment on the letter 'z', and then quickly moved to the books on the bookshelf.
These books are not books whose titles begin with z, but some strange miscellaneous books.
That deep attraction came from the deepest part of the space, but He Ao did not continue forward, but stopped and glanced at the miscellaneous books on the bookshelves.
He picked up a book at random, "The Evolution of the Church of the God of Chaos" and flipped through it, and then picked up a book "The Dance Ritual of the Desire Witch - How to Maximize Your Partner's Desire" and flipped through it.
Then, he picked up a book "The Structure of the Church of the God of Knowledge". In fact, he saw this book as soon as he came in, but he did not choose this book immediately. Being too eager would expose his true inner thoughts.
He Ao flipped through the book. This book roughly tells about the Church of the God of Knowledge. Different from the regular church, which has an obvious organizational structure, the Church of the God of Knowledge is relatively loose, and even the priests do not know each other.
The God of Knowledge's criteria for selecting priests are rather picky, so there is often only one member of the Church of the God of Knowledge around several cities.
Correspondingly, the priests of each Church of the God of Knowledge have high combat effectiveness and possess all kinds of secret knowledge.
Unlike the strict selection of priests, the God of Knowledge is not very picky when it comes to treating believers. Even if you are not a believer of the God of Knowledge, you can obtain the knowledge you want by offering sacrifices to the God of Knowledge.
Of course, the prerequisite is to communicate with the God of Knowledge first.
The book specifically mentions that communicating with the God of Knowledge has a high probability of failure. Not every communication ritual can communicate with the God of Knowledge. Even if communication is achieved, He may ignore you.
Later, it also introduced in detail how to improve the success rate of the God of Knowledge's communication ceremony. He Ao glanced at it and put the book back.
He doesn't really need methods to improve his success rate. Based on his friendship with his good friends, good friends are always available.
While putting the books back on the bookshelf, He Ao's eyes scanned the bookshelf without leaving any trace again. Most of the books were about occult knowledge.
Finally, his eyes fell on a small yellowed book called "The First District's Martial Arts Practice Test".
